Can I have some cake please?

In one small classroom experiment at George Stevens Academy, a single Twinkie, removed from all packaging, did not spoil for 30 years, although it became "rather brittle".

an improper frying of a twinkie may add at least another 240 Calories and 28 grams of fat.

I was quite fond of the chocolate fudge one somewhere on here...

1kg sugar
250g (400g?) butter
1 pint single cream
400g chocolate

Or something along those lines. If not quite that. I made it three or four times

I might dig out the recipe again

The experience of tipping a full kg of sugar into a pan is fun

 

[tufty79]

i think you should dig it out. definitely. and post it properly on here
